Moving and Copying Tasks

Tasks are performed in the order in which they appear in the job tree. You can rearrange the tasks as necessary.

To move a task

  1. Click on the task with the left mouse button and hold the button down.
  2. Drag the task to its new location.

As you move the mouse, the pointer changes to an icon that represents the task. The names of other tasks are highlighted as the pointer moves over them. When you release the mouse button, the task you’re moving is inserted below the task that is highlighted.

You can make copies of tasks. The copies contain all of the properties of the original task. This is an efficient way to perform the same task with different properties. After you make a copy, change the properties of the new task as necessary.

To copy a task

  1. Click on the name of the task with the left mouse button.
  2. On the Edit menu, choose Copy, or press the CTRL and C keys.
  3. On the Edit menu, choose Paste, or press the CTRL and V keys.

The copy of the task is added to the tree below the original task.
